  improved, but this could have a negative effect on balance. In UAS operations, weight change during flight may occur when expendable items are used on board (e.g., a jettisonable load). B.2.2 Balance, Stability, and Center of Gravity (CG). Adverse balance ... aircraft weight. As variable load items are shifted or expended, there may be a resultant shift in CG location. The remote PIC should determine how the CG will shift and the resultant effects on the aircraft…

  presence of obstacles. These factors may require a reduction in weight prior to flight. • Weight changes during flight also have a direct effect on aircraft performance. Fuel burn is the most common weight change that takes place during flight ... improved, but this could have a negative effect on balance.
